But, yeah, that doesnt explain his disdain for commercial cinema. I think I read somewhere else too about him being quite pissed at Hindi movies, in general. Anyway, that's lazy assumption on my part.

I never got that impression from my conversations with him. It’s another matter that in his last few films, he probably didn’t get a chance to really work with the scripts he was personally invested in, or with producers who were unconditionally willing to indulge him. <br />Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na is a pretty good example, I think, of a solid, somewhat mainstream film.Jabberwockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210195396120573794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-57010339835340322952017-10-10T22:52:02.464+05:302017-10-10T22:52:02.464+05:30Hi sir.

He made me a movie with bobby deol and karishma kapoor in early 2000s and I was wondering if he's the same guy who made JBDY. Although it's alright to make a totally different film than your previous film. But, did it ever feature in your conversations with him that from 90s onwards, why did he work only with commercial actors despite his disdain for their kind of cinema?
